What Kinds of Best Management Practices Work Best

Segment 23: "BMP's"Air Date: June 8th
((Anchor intro)) Every homeowner at Lake Tahoe will soon be required to install
BMP's on their property. And if you don't know what BMP's are, Shelly Purdy explains
in tonight's Lake Tahoe Report.

((Track 1)) Jennifer Jesperson may soon be coming to a neighborhood near you?and she
might even be coming to your home. There are currently more than 20-thousand homes
in the Tahoe basin that need to be evaluated for the BMP retrofit program. And it's
Jennifer's job to help homeowners figure out what, if any, BMP's are needed on those
properties.
((Sot @ 5:20 Jennifer Jesperson, Tahoe Resource Conservation District)) ?In this area,
there's some native low ground covers were installed for some revegetation on the bare
soil areas and then gravel was installed to capture runoff from the garage and the patio
which driped all down through here.?
((Track 2)) BMP's or best management practices is essentially a fancy name for
landscaping designed to control soil erosion.
((Sot @ 4:45)) "some of the BMP's installed on this property include this rock wall
which was extended to retain some of the soil coming off the slope. A drain was installed
across the driveway and prefabricated drywall system was installed to capture the
runoff."
((Track 3)) BMP's range from everything from planting native shrubs and grasses to
installing huge retaining walls and terraces. It just depends on what needs to be done at
each different location. And though the BMP's you need to install may vary, the end
result is always be the same - protecting the clarity of Lake Tahoe by controlling soil
erosion. With the lake tahoe education coalition, I'm Shelly Purdy for KOLO News Channel
8.

Shelly takes us on a visit to a local nursery to sort the good from the bad when it comes to
planting in the garden.
